ii. p. 904.— On leaves of Par?iassia palustris, near Glasgow,
{Dr. Greville.) The original specimen is iu the Edinburgh

Chsetomium funicolum, Cooke. Twine Bristle-mould ;

j\Iarch, 1872. This species is most closely allied to C. elatum, but
much smaller and neater. It is wholly black, and without the fibrous
base of C. elatum. The hairs are more delicate, not having half
the diameter, and the sporidia are scarcely more than half as long
or broad. A species of Folyactis afterwards made its appearance
on the same mycelium on some portion of the twine left behind
with ;i few immature peritkecia.
